Very enjoyable. It's light and funny with plenty of Fury, the way I prefer the MCU. It's akin to how lite & funny Ant-Man followed the downer of Infinity War. Another lite&fun bug-man follows the bummr of Endgame. Mysterio is a good addition, especially in our culture of fake news. Zendaya is really working for me - kind of like how I watched Miley grow up, same goes for Zendaya. She too started as a Disney star in Shake It Up, probably the last of those sorts of shows that Tara and I watched until she grew out of it (I don't think I ever did but I miss her watching them alone - plus it's weird). Her neck has grown so long. Angourie Rice stood out too, mostly because she was just in that Miley Black Mirror ep. But back to Spidey, Holland had solid comic timing. I miss the Stan Lee cameo more than Iron Man. And the end of credits scene is well worth the wait. And the trailer is deceptive - there's a scene that didn't make the cut I saw, some of the lines are changed, and a black eye is digitally removed. That's false advertising, right? Anyway thumbs up. Fun flick. Could've used a sword fight but we'll settle for gratuitous morning star and halberd.
